So Gateway pundit has posted a photo showing where the photo of him on wall was taken. Confirming what you posted.

Shockingly, it was from the 2nd story sniper team! They were 40ft from him. Clearly they watched the entire episode unfold from seeing him with range finder, to climbing wall, to climbing roof....how did they not issue a "code red" to prevent Trump from taking stage or get him off stage ASAP?

Who were the snipers. Local or SS?

reply

local

To make matters worse, it seems like the majority of federal agents that day were not SS, they were Homeland Security....wtf?

"Whistleblower allegations suggest the majority of DHS officials were not in fact USSS agents but instead drawn from the department's Homeland Security Investigations (HSI)," Hawley wrote. "This is especially concerning given that HSI agents were unfamiliar with standard protocols typically used at these types of events, according to the allegations."

If I were Trump I'd use private security.

They've given him president level security in response. Getting a private detail that size would probably cost 10m/month. RFK jr was paying 1m/month for the detail size Trump originally had. Trump is so cheap he's using outdoor venues so I'd guess he doesn't want to pay for it.

RFK used Gavin de Becker Associates

RFK is married to Cheryl Hines (curb your enthusiasm)

Trump and I are very different

I heard Secret Service is under Homeland now.

It is, but SS are a separate department.

Its a bit like saying Navy Seals and Navy boiler room workers are both under Navy, but they're not interchangeable roles.
